Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) | before catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation and 3, 6 and 12 months after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation | changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| morphologic changes of left cardiac atrium | before catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) | echocardiography of left cardiac atrium |
| changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) | 12 months after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation and then at intervals of one year until 2035 | changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| determination of factors associated with long-term success rates of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation | Blood samples gained during catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) | Blood samples (biobanking) for determination of factors associated with long-term success rates of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation). Decisions about future analyses to be performed from stored samples will be based exclusively on scientific reasons. |
